// JS remainder operator `%` won't work for our case, | |
// we need a modulo that follows modular arithmetics definition. | |
function mod(num, modulus) { | |
return ((num % modulus) + modulus) % modulus; | |
} | |
// Alternative (not strict, but IMO easier to remember) | |
function modAlt(num, modulus) { | |
const x = num % modulus; | |
return x < 0 ? x + modulus : x; | |
} | |
/* Example usage */ | |
class Playlist { | |
#songs; | |
#index = 0; | |
constructor(songs) { | |
this.#songs = songs; | |
} | |
get current() { | |
return this.#songs[this.#index]; | |
} | |
offsetBy(num) { | |
this.#index = mod(this.#index + num, this.#songs.length); | |
return this.current; | |
} | |
next() { | |
return this.offsetBy(1); | |
} | |
prev() { | |
return this.offsetBy(-1); | |
} | |
} | |
const playlist = new Playlist(["song_1.mp3", "song_2.mp3", "song_3.mp3"]); | |
console.log(playlist.current); // song_1.mp3 | |
console.log(playlist.offsetBy(2)); // song_3.mp3 | |
console.log(playlist.next()); // song_1.mp3 | |
console.log(playlist.prev()); // song_3.mp3 |
